When a writer wins the prize or the recognition he/she
starts to get the feeling of accomplishment and greatness. They have the talent, and because of that talent they got the recognition. Is their talent really what the writer should rely on? Any writer with talent can take a familiar plot and personalize that plot with a creative setting and lovely descriptions and earn a decent dollar. However it takes a dedicated and active mind to come up with the original and famous plots the other 'talented writers' will someday take and 'personalize.' Arrogance sometimes follows the trophy and writers like to go off and smile in the camera's face. When it comes to giving feedback they like to come across a beginner and point out pitiful mistakes while placing themselves up on a pedestal with a gigantic grin. Never do they like to recognize the fact that the only reason they stand on that pedestal is because of their talent and not their genius. It is highly hypocritical to place yourself above others who are just starting in the art. You might just be placing yourself above someone who will someday stun the world with their genius and talent and not talent alone. Common sense it seems will be absent in the minds of our arrogant 'talented' writers, and until it arrives I wish them a good time 'personalizing' the genius works of those before them.
